How soil erosion rates evolved over the last about 100 kyr and how they relate to environmental and climate
variability is largely unknown. This is due to a lack of suitable archives that help to trace this evolution.
We determined in-situ cosmogenic 10Be along vertical landforms (tors, boulders and scarps) on the Sila
Massif to unravel their local exhumation patterns to develop a surface denudation model over millennia.
Due to the physical resistance of tors, their rate of exhumation may be used to derive surface and, thus, soil
denudation rates over time. We derived soil denudation rates that varied in the range of 0–0.40 mm year-1.
The investigated boulders, however, appear to have experienced repositioning processes about ~20–25 ka
BP and were therefore a less reliable archive. The scarps of the Sila upland showed a rapid bedrock exposure
within the last 8–15 ka. Overall, the denudation rates increased steadily after 75 ka BP but remained low
until about 17 ka BP. The exhumation rates indicate a denudation pulse that occurred about 17–5 ka BP.
Since then the rates have continuously decreased.

Soil erosion is a mechanical process of ground surface degradation described by indices, such as the contents of kinetic energy (KEmm, in J m-2 mm-1) or momentum (Mmm, in N m⁻2 mm⁻1 of rainfall. Microphysical data from optical disdrometers (PWS100), obtained between 2014 and 2018 at four sites across Mexico, were used to study the features

We review prior studies on the incidence of hypertension (HTN) after earthquakes and present a retrospective analysis of HTN after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

The Phenai Mata Igneous Complex (PMIC) is situated in the western part of the Deccan large igneous province, India. This complex was emplaced temporally close to the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary and is associated with Reunion plume activity during that time. The PMIC is considered to be a remnant of a composite plug filled with basalt, gabbro, granophyre, and nepheline syenites of a successively younger age[1]. Here we present petrographical and geochemical data of six granophyres and seven gabbros from the PMIC and attempt to understand its possible genesis.

The Iconic Grouting Intensity Number (GIN) method proposed by Lombardi and Deere (1993) has been widely accepted and applied in dam curtain grouting since its inception a quarter of century ago. The popularity and effectiveness of this method lies in its simplicity and ease of application but only when it is fully understood

The PT conditions and position of different groups of eclogites in the subcratonic lithospheric mantle (SCLM) worldwide has been established using clinopyroxene Jd-Di thermobarometry for different cratons and kimberlite localities. Beneath Siberia, Fe-eclogites found within the 3.0-4.0 GPa interval and were probably formed in Early Archean times forming the base of the lithosphere. In the Middle and Late Archean, eclogites were melted during subduction, creating restite and cumulates from partial melts that traced ascending channels. They were forming hybrid eclogite –pyroxenite series in the Mg –rich field of PTX diagrams and differentiated magmatic mainly bi- mineral series showing regular trends.    

A biogeochemical and stable isotope perspective on the effects of the Deccan volcanism on the surrounding regions

The amount of groundwater and surface water consumed in a river basin constitutes the blue water footprint (BWF). To safeguard the environment, it has been suggested to set a cap to the BWF based on blue water availability (BWA). BWA depends on the precipitation that becomes runoff and the need to reserve environmental flow requirements. Previous studies determined BWF caps based on the use-what-is-there principle, which assumes

Dr. Jie Dong obtained his PhD (Geology) from the Peking University. He is currently working on a two-year postdoctoral research at Peking University. His PhD research was based on the metamorphism and fluid/melt behaviour during ultradeep subduction and exhumation of South Altyn continental crust, West China. His area of interest is HP-UHP metamorphism, HT-UHT metamorphism and multiphase metamorphism. He has published various papers in peer reviewed journals including Journal of Petrology, Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, and Gondwana Research. Detailed researches are available on www.researchgate.net/profile/Jie-Dong-18.
